I shudder to think what 1.2 trillion adds up to in seconds. Was earth even formed yet?

Excellent question! Looks like it's 380 centuries, so that takes us back to 37,800 BCE, right? Apparently that was in the Paleolithic era, when early humans lived in caves. That's way beyond my ability to get a gut sense of the enormity.
